Dr. Margie Harber from the Colorado Clinical Guidelines Collaborative introduces the video, highlighting the difficulty of changing behaviors, both personally and for patients. The video aims to demonstrate motivational interviewing techniques to help engage patients in becoming healthier and sustaining those changes through self-motivation.
The doctor initiates a conversation with John about his weight, acknowledging his previous efforts to lose weight and the subsequent regain. She explores what he did to initially lose 5 pounds, including watching his diet, eating more fruits and vegetables, and walking more. John expresses pride in his initial success but admits to giving up when the weight returned.
The doctor and John discuss the reasons for his weight regain. John mentions increasing his intake of fruits and vegetables, including multiple glasses of orange juice daily. The doctor points out that excessive fruit consumption, especially fruit juice, can contain a significant amount of calories, potentially contributing to the weight rebound. John expresses surprise, realizing his fruit intake might be counterproductive.
The doctor asks John how important it is for him to lose weight by reducing his juice intake. John acknowledges the need to cut back but expresses his love for orange juice. Using a scale of 0 to 10, John rates his confidence in reducing juice consumption as a six or seven. The doctor explores why he isn't a zero, highlighting his realization that reducing juice will help him lose weight and improve his health. She also explores why he isn't a 10, identifying potential obstacles to his success.
John suggests removing fruit juice from the house and replacing it with low-calorie drinks or water. The doctor reinforces John's desire to stay on course with weight reduction by decreasing his juice intake. She asks him to envision a successful scenario in two weeks, where he has eliminated juice and substituted it with sugar-free alternatives.
John reaffirms his commitment to the plan, and the doctor assesses his confidence level again. The doctor decides to postpone medication and focus on lifestyle changes. She schedules a follow-up appointment in two weeks to assess his progress.

0:06 hello I'm Dr Margie harber medical executive director of the Colorado clinical guidelines collaborative changing behavior is one of the most difficult things to do whether it's for ourselves or our patients in this brief video we will demonstrate a few motivational interviewing techniques to make your job a little easier by helping find a focus to engage patients in becoming healthier the goal is not only to activate patients to make a needed change but to help them sustain that change through learned self-motivational techniques hi John nice to see you again so tell me how are things going well doc I know you told me that I need to lose weight and even though the scale didn't show it today I was able to lose about 5 lbs but then I gained it right back well
0:52 I appreciate you bringing your weight to the Forefront do you mind if we explore this issue further no by all means I know we have to discuss it all right um well it sounds like you've been struggling with your weight recently and I understand how difficult it is to lose the weight and then have it come back again so tell me what you did to lose that initial 5 lbs I started watching what I ate and I ate less I've been eating more fruits and vegetables I've also been walking more I'm walking up to 20 minutes a day now I saw the weight come slowly off um and I felt better but then when I watched it come back on again I gave up but did have some success tell me how you felt when you lost the weight I felt great I felt really proud of myself I thought that this was something that I could do okay well it sounds like you
1:39 realize that when you lost the weight you felt better and that it's going to affect your overall health so tell me what you think changed that caused you to gain the weight back well I think it's because I've been eating more fruits and vegetables that that's it and how many servings of fruits and vegetables on average per day would you have to be honest I have four five four to six glass of orange juice a day um I have fruit for lunch and breakfast I have uh usually one to two servings of a vegetable like lettuce or broccoli with dinner John it's very important that you recognize that some fruits but especially fruit juice can contain a huge amount of calories did you know that a glass of orange juice
2:25 has almost as many calories as a kaca no I didn't know um but doesn't the fruit food pyramid classify um fruit juice as a a serving you're absolutely right but keep in mind that the food pyramid is to be used as a guideline only when it comes to nutrition we have to have a more personalized approach so I have a hunch and that is the excess fruit that you were consuming probably caused your weight rebound what's your impression well this changes quite a bit I mean here I'm thinking that my fruit intake is making me healthier and actually it's making me fatter indeed let me ask you something knowing what you know now how important is it to you to lose the weight by decreasing the amount of juice that you're currently
3:10 taking in obviously I need to cut back on the fruit juice but boy do I love that OJ oh I let me ask you this on a scale from 0 to 10 zero meaning that there's no way you can do it and 10 meaning that you're 100% confidence that you can do it how confident are you that you'll be able to reduce the amount of juice you're currently taking in um six or seven all right so you're not a zero so that tells me that you've got some confidence that this is doable this is something you certainly can do why are you not a zero I guess it's because I know that I need to do it to lose the weight so you realize again that if you decrease the amount of juice you're taking in you're going to decrease your weight you're going to feel better and you're going to impact your your health
3:55 positively yes but you're also not a 10 and that tells me that there may be some obstacles to your success what would it take for you to be a 10 or even an eight or nine getting the fruit juice out of the house cuz I know if it's there I'll drink it my wife does the shopping for us so maybe if I ask her not to get the juice that would solve it okay now if the juice was still there can you think of anything else you could do I suppose I could replace it with um low calorie drink or drink more water excellent John I get the impression that you want to stay in course with weight reduction and the best way to do this will be to decrease the amount of juice
4:41 that you're currently taking in so if I saw you in two weeks and I asked you how much juice you're you're drinking and how you did it what would you tell me I'd say I didn't have any and I substituted it with um sugar-free drinks excellent well it sounds like you have a plan same scale 0 to 10 how confident are you that you can uh make this happen okay I agree all right well you know what I'm not going to start any medications today your Labs were a little bit off but I think we can handle this from a purely lifestyle standpoint what do you think great sounds good to me excellent I'll see you in two weeks
5:28 okay
